SPIRIT O TUE MIMIC ,TOUPNALS. Some facts which we l ath - fished a fess days ago, on the ainthority of official e,: svents, vosed, that, lo the years 1823,•1824, 182,5 ,alssuesilse exports ni's cetton-wool from this c. thr Continent of Europe, had 'been in tl tiou e 4 9,000,0 W, 13,000,000, and 18,000,000 Of pounds respectively, whilethe exports of :1826, so fie as correct informa tion could he got at, have proceeded after the rate of 30,000,000 pounds.. Our opinion that the manufac tUreS,of the Continent have undergone a steady and unquestionable increase during the whole of the above period, would, we think, be sufficiently established by a reference to the table 'which , we have now twice quoted ; and the truth of it is undoubtedly not 'im paired by the great and sudden stride which the con sumption of r, cotton in neighbouring countries has exhibited, during the previous months of 1826. It goes for nothing in the argument, to say that the ac cumulated stocks and reduced priees of the article, in consequence of last year's extraordinary speculations, have encouraged the foreign merchant. to more exten sive. piirchaseS than he would otherwise have attempt ed. Our doctiine will-not suffer from such a conces sion. The export of the raw material' to the Conti nent had been advancing rapidly before' this fall of price. It had increased from 19,000,000 (the export of 18'24), to 18,000,000 during the year 1825, while the monopolizing mania was at the higheat pitch in this country,: and in epite of the exorbitant prices to which the article of cotton had been raised by that wild course of speculation :r so that, at most, the re d Oced price of cotton, in consequence of the recent glut of the raw material, has only strengthened a pre-existing stimuli:is under which foreign purchasees had been al ready acting. The manufacturing movement has been a ecelerated, but its , direction has not been changed; nor is it from a state of torpor that foreign industry has .been thus excited--the impulse was given ninny years ago. It was administered by the extravagance . of the British Government—by the taxes under which 'We laboured—by the price of bread and meat in this country t inder the corn laws—ashich drove our weavers and, other Workmen abroad, where they' taught a new race of emPloyers to rival their former masters, and to. ticker ;;advantage agaiiist England her self of thosesfluttuations. in the value of raw inerchan dine, which she had hitherto enjoyed,' excluSively the power visiting upon other nations. No; notwith standing the conviction which possesses us, that Eng land would .siter a time become a happier country, were she to display a more equal mixture of the agris cultural habits and character with those which belong to...manufactures, we should, perhaps, with no less eagerness than some of our respectable cotemporaries, lend our fancies to the delusive hope that the obstruc titin is but temporary, arid that the ascendancy of Bri tish capital, skill, and perseverance, will soon revive avith more freshness 'aim brillianay than ever. Were it possible that we could so deceive ourselves, we slang. still he rejoiced to cherish the chimera,' be cause, let hereafter bring what good it 'may, we can ' iot shut our eyes to the spectacle of so many tens of thousands among our countrymen wasting in misery froin'the want of present subsistence. If the future consoles . , the present hour appals us. . A full flow of masu s t etose leads to the precarious condition of ever it,creasing ut oltitudes, whom an efflux of employment unatioldably stat'Ycs. In England, the sluices ar© now all openned, and what she flutist endure in the interval, before the ebbing manufacture drops' to its ultimate leVel, is indeed that portion of the subject which no' hOmane man can bear to m editate without flinching. There exists no doubt whatever that the export of cotton wool increases every day, and that its importa tion dimishes ; but there is no such increasing ex port of our manufaCtuwd cottons. If a glut of the latter: could be truly affirmed upon the Continent, there would be, of course, no purchases made of cot pm: cloths by foreigners ; but there would likewise be no e xport of raw cotton from this country, unless the st ack were bought to be thrown aside or burned by the eiVottitt Merchant. But the sales of our rnanu factureu cottons, plain and printed, exhibit a falling t ag not l a ss remarkable than the progressive increase in the sales o.fecdt.°ll wool — a falling off in the April qoarter of 1826 ~ s es compared with 1825, of 10,000,000 yards o f p l a i n eo ,,`tons, out of 39,000,000 ; and, of 8,5110,000 of printed Ott°ns, out of 45,000,000 ! The first rational step towaiiils mitigating the wretched- mess of which so marked a des7Une hi ow manutaa- on tures must inevitably be productiv,7, the' admissi of corn .on ea sier terms to the British l arket ;0. thie, if the great body of consum ers han g tone. , *. thall probably succeed in accomplishing. Tile fanners about Andover have set a noble precedent of strong good: sense, and contempt for humbug ; and the land lords, in co nsternation, have given up all further idea s)f dictatorial meetings throughout the county of Hants. This is a point of moment. in the mean time the manufacturers and their partisans ought to be aware, that if they want a repeal of , the corn-laws, it is un s wise, as well as unprincipled,' to deceive the public by unfounded statements of the returning prosperity of their inanufactnres. The happiest immediate argil mem for a free trade in corn is its tendency to relieve a depressed and ruined manufacture. What sort of a joke would it be for the landlords, if their adversaries were first to boast that the cotton business actually flourishes, and thensolicit them, on the score of hos inanity, to repeal the corn-law, as a protection to that great manufacturing interest, which already prospers - .tn'sacrifice themselves, in fact (as the landkirds con eider it), for the sake of those who, cm their own s towing, have no need of help ? 'imes. It a lipeara by the statement ofthe Chairman of the , Rio de la Plata Agricultural ,Association, of which , n Meeting, -.composed of some twenty of the subscri . hers, took, place at the Crown and Anchor on Tuesday that that SocietY had its rise at the most patriotic and philantrophic motives that can be iniagined—thet the o f state of distress to winch the poor and labour of t h e community were reduced, which the ing classeS him milkier mean ' projector litto more t Y of being ac (painted t oduced to turn his a tte n tion to , emigration as the II iost effec to tual mode of relief—that • wa s have shipped them all off his original intenti on good estates in South Aare-- and provided them with hie own ex rice, by way of experiment, itt 8., ; but ne Members , of that the late Mr. Goldsmith, and go.

The project has, however, unfor tunately failed ; but not till 560 people' have taken their departure to the )ruid of promiee. Strange to say, the tdomiinalde Press, insensible to the obvious hurritinity and patrioti:au of tin thing, has had ;the hardihood to revile even such is virtuous endeavour as tins, and would have the world believe that the vapies had really some view of self-interest at the bottom, Really this liberty of the press must be put a stop to;-- N! s and Radicals, High and Low Churchmen, d 0.% and Tories, all by turns experience its enor when such exalted patriotism and unques tion.ffile self-denial as prompted the establishment of such an instituticoi this, cannot escape its reproaches, it is time at least that no man wrote or published any thing, till it had been first submitted to those whose motives it is intended to impugn. To be sure there are people in the world silly and credulous enough to think there is such a quality as humbug ; and that the Press is not quite uselessly employed in unmasking the pos sessors of that same quality. There may be those who may be illiberal enough to think that it is easy for a man to crow upon his own dunghill ; to tell a plausible story to a little packed meeting of his own ;—and that to silence any intruding objector by calling him a liar and something worse, is not exactly the way to convince the world of the 'mirky and propriety of one's own motives. But with this We have nothing to do upon this occasion. The Proj'ector's own account of his own Company is now before the world ; and the public, with the materials before them, will, we have no doubt, pass a judgment upon all parties.—Morn ing herald. Another of those incoherent, bombastic rhapsodies, fbr which the present Irish Catholic orators are dis tinguished above all other people, has just appeared, in the form of a second edition of Mr. Shell's speech on the illness of the Duke of York. We know not which to admire most, the impolicy of such a speech, or the manner in which it has been repeated. "On reading the effusions poured forth at a dinner at Mul lingar, we were willing to believe that they were the effects of wine, and not the sober, deliberate, and sincere sentiments of the speaker. We thought that the manner in which they were received by the com pany arose from the same cause, and that in their cool moments 'they would express their regret. We have been sadly disappointed in these suppositions. The speaker takes the first opportunity of repeating the same sentiments, in still more ofinsive language, not to a drunken company, but to the Catholic Mso eiation—the organ of the Emancipators of Ireland —and seemed only to regret that the, most offensive parts of his speech had been omitted in the first edi tion. The hearers were not, « eerflown" with wine, nor ignorant, credulous followers of the speaker, but men who, we are _ bound to believe represent the set _ . 4 ments of the great body of the Irish yet they seem ed animated by the same feelings, and by the most en thusiastic and boisterous applause, gave assent to the, we may almost say, treasonable words of the orator. — Though we arc sorry that such sentiments. should ani mate any body of , people, we rejoice that Mr. Shiel has spoken out. lite people of England will know how to judge of him and .his followers for the future, and, we are afraid, will be ' but too apt to associate them with their arch-prototypes who rejoiced in the suf ferings of heretics, and who sacrificed so many thou sands of their fellow-creatures to the flames, merely be. cause they conscientiously differed from them in reli gious opinions. What other feelings could make them. rejoice over the sufferings of a fellow-creature in the hour of sickness ? What but the most unrelenting spirit could make them rake up errors and faults which had been long forgotten and forgiven, and that at a time whnu they supposed their victim on a death-bed. There was no new provocation for this outrage. An obnoxious toast bad been given merely as a matter of form, yet this was laid hold of as a pretext for a scene of exultation and merriment, which is disgraceful to Mr. Sheil and his compeers. The only charitable construction which we can put on such conduct is to suppose that their object is not to obtain Catholic emancipation, but to court notoriety and irritate the people of England against those of Ireland, in order that they may continue to refuse a hbon which would deprive these men of their ephemeral fame. WhO but' men entitled to such an appellation could have used and applauded such expressions as " who had wallowed. in the blackest sty of a base and profligate sensuality" this sets 'me and every Irish Catholic on fire —ap plies a torch to our passions—blows our indignation into flame ' " our, mouths are foaming with rabid froth ;" there is poison ; mixed with madness in our tooth t" besides a great number equally absurd expres sions. The truth is, the system of these leaders, for years, has been to throw every obstacle in the way of emancipation; and we regret this for the sake of those _well-ineaninq Catholics, who, in some manner, be come identified with them, and are subjected, in con sevence, to serious deprivations. We would re commen4.oein, therefore, to seize the earliest oppor tunity of.expressing their disapprobation of those sen timents which have fat4ed forth such applause at Mut lingar and Dublin. If they . do not, we can tell them, that; next time the quotion is discussed in' Parliament their opponents will make use of this Catholic feeling as a much more powerful weapon against them than any that has yet been discovered. The man that exults over the 5 1 fierings even pf an enemy, is naturally shunned by his fellow-creatures S and the sect that can applaud such a Baling will never meet with success in any civilized entninnuity.----Ibit4 There is now exhibit i ng here Miss Melins, a native of South Carolina, who is no less than 6 feet 104 inches in height ; her age is only eighteen, and she is, we understand, the youngest of fourteen children, none of whom exceed 'the ordinary human stature ; lier pa rents were also short, her mother being fi feet 2 inches high.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET. —The young man who calls himself Charles Wilmot, and says he is the son of the renowned Princess Olive of Cumberland Pouiatowski, attended again yes terday at this office to have his case considered by the parish-officers of St. Giles's, before the Magistrates. One of the parish-officers said, that he bad taken the informa tion of the young man, and in consequence, bad waited upon the Princess Olive in the rules of the King's Bench prison, and that that lady, in the most solemn manner, declared, "so help her God, the applicant was no son of lutes?' The young man again repeated, that he was the arm of the Princess Olive, as she called herself, and he would give his oath of it ; for the Princess had told him so, and privately acknowledged him as her son, although she now thought fit to deny him ; and his father was Mr. Anthony Askew. Mrs. and Mrs. Bell, for merly living in Lincoln's Inn New-square, had brought him up front infancy, and for some time he went by the name of Bell, until they told him who his mother and father were, and he then applied to his mother, who acknOwledged it ; and besides, the doc tor, who had delivered the Princess. Olive of him, had since iden tified him, and was ready to prove that he was the same. The Magistrates then ordered that the young man should supply all necessary information to, the parish-officers, and tell who this doctor was that had brought him into the world. A person here came forward with a bundle of papers in his hand to speak, he said, on behalf of her Royal Highness the Princess, but the Magistrates declined hearing hint. TOWN-HALL, SOUTIIWARK.—A very lady-like female, the wife of a surveyor of the roads, attended by her daughter, an interesting girl of lb, appeared pursuant to a summons, to answer the charge of assaulting a very ordinary and meanly dressed woman, 'named Hannah Lakey, who stated, that on Tuesday evening the was in company with a friend at the Brick layers' Arms Tavern, Kent-road, when the defendant's husband entered the same box, and was invited to partake of a glass of brandy and water—her friend shortly after left, and alms was about to follow, the defendant's htishand havintrisen to let her pass, when the defendant herself entered the room, flew at her' like a tigress, and put the finale to a sound beating, by three vigorous tweaks of her nose. A young girl of her own condition, said she was the person who had asked the defendant's husband to drink, and corro. borated the story of her friend, who she was sure hail no evil design. . The defendant was then desired to enter upon her justification, who, after some prefatory remark:l on her husband's neglect and infidelity, said she was awaiting supper for him on the Tuesday evening, surrounded by her children, the girl with her being one, (and whom site took by the hand as she spoke, and drew more within the Magistrate's view), and in want at the time of the means of procuring them necessary comforts, which she well knew he was squandering in the society of the complainant, of which she had ocular i '‘nonstration the same evening. She con fessed that she was so seriously afflicted by it, that at the moment she was incapable of repressing her indignation, and she did re venge her and her children's wrongs upon the author of them. Mr. J. J. Salmi inquired if her husband was present? The defendant—No, Sir; I wrung his nose afterwards, and he refuses to appear. Alderman SNUTII—Really, ma'am, you seem to be an adept at nose-pulling, and in the absence of your husband to throw fur timer light on your accomplishments, I shall be, under the neces sity of holding you to bail, unless you can prevail on the com plainant to forgive you— " Forgive! me—forgive ! me"—reiterated the lady, her voice half stifled with emotion, " sooner , would I have a dagger plunged into my heart than receive a favour at her hands." In this extremity the usual securities were entered into, and the parties dismissed. UNION-HALL.--A respectable-looking man, named James Edwards, was brought up to this office before the sitting magis trate, J. S. CALI/WILL, Esq., under the authority of an assault warrant, which charged him with having threatened the life of a Mr. Henry Jall, by presenting a pistol at his head. The complainant stated, that a few days ago, while at home, the defendant came to his house, and wanted to intrude himself, on the ground that he bad an equal right to be there as the occupier. Mr. Jail resisted the attempt to encroach epon his premises, and was in the act of turning out the intruder, when, as the complainant related, Mr. Edwards pulled a pistol out of his pocket, and swore that he would shoot him through the head if be offered any violence. The complainant added, that fearful the threat would have been carried into execution, and that he should be assassinated, he called for a constable ; but before one ban arrived Mr. Edwards went away, and lie (complainant) accordingly obtained a warrant against him fur an assault, with intent to shoot him. The Magistrate.—Did you see the pistol ? Complainant.--Yes, sir, plain enough, for the muzzle of it was close to' my head, and I expected nothing else but my brains would have been blown out. The defendant here said, 'with a smile, that the only weapon (as it bad 'been. called by Mr. Jail) that he had in his possession, was loaded with end: The Magistrate asked the defendant whether Ile had used tin threats and intimidations ascribed to him ? .Mr. Edwards, in reply, said, that a dispute arose between him and the complainant on the subject of a house, in the (vase of which he (defendant) put his hand into his waistcoat, and drew out his snufT s box for the purpose of taking a pinch. The moment the complainant saw the box, he was terribly alarmed, and ex claimed, " He'll shoot me, run for a constable." Now he (Mr. Edwards) could assure the magistrate most solemnly, that be never presented a pistol or any other weapon at the complainant ; nothing, in fact, took place but the mere act of taking out his box. Here the defendant produced the snuff-box which exched so notch terror in the mind of Mr. Jail; it was in shape like a pocket pistol. A witness on the part of the deftmlant'corroborated the account of the transaction, and he was accordingly discharged. A fellow named Coleman was charged with a violent assault upon his Wife, It appeared that Coleman and his wife had been living apart for some time in consequence of his barbarity towards her. The defendant, on their separation, refused to allow the mother to have her infant,- and consequently it was pining away for the want of its natural nourishment. The poor woman sought every means of having her child restored, but the defendant po sitively refused, and it' was while M. the act of supplicating him to let her have the infant, that the alleged amok was Coin.. mitted. a On the defendant's promise to restore the infant to its mother, time magistrate permitted him to depart, and the fellow had scarcely left the office before he attacked the poor woman, tore the child away front her, and would 'in all probability have strangled it, but for the intervention of a gentleman, who, witnessing his scan dalous conduct, ,insisted on his re-appearance before the magis trate. The facts of his brutal treatment to the wife as well as to his child being corroborated by several persons, the defendant was held to bail, in default of which he was committed to gaol. In the course of the day, a gentleman attended before the Ma gistrate, and stated, that liming seen ate account of an examina tion that took place at tits °Mee in the rtesvaparmaa rerpeeting .ta man pame4 Thoneum 'Wilson, who imposed on a great number of individuals by representing that he had just arrived from India in the Britannia, and was the bearer of intelligence front their -re latives, he (the applicant) perceiving that the imposter was com mitted for one month to gmtob pow came forward to apprise time Alogivtracy that be had been defrauded of a sum of money by him tinder the supposition that lie had actually seen his friends in 'lndia. Ile (applicant) however, discovered that the fellow had invented the circumstances thair he related, for the purpose of de frauding persons of their money, and he was therefore most anxious to prosecute him. The Magistrate W a r sa w the a pplicant, that he would have an opportunity of doing ss when the term of his imprisomnent was aspired, 'Me applicant eipresaed his determination of prosecuting Wil son the moment of his liberation. It will be recollected by most of our readers, that at the adjourned Middlesex Sessions last week, John Taft was convicted o f a n outrageous assault on Char lotte Gunnell, by throwing her over Cowley-bridge into the river. The contradictory statements made by the prosecutrlx having attracted the notice of many of the r h e o s o p d e t atll they b yde dia te l it: f ied t o ilb institute xr g and the n a minute eigilnilogiuuirr 3, into the circumstances. The result of that inquiry is, that the minds of the individuals are completely satis fied that the man i s entirely innocent of the charge Of which he has been ronounced atiilty by the verdict of the jury. A petiti p on will be forthwith presented, on the poor man's behalf, to the Right Hon. the Beerf 3 ^ e Q tary u 4.t . .Y? for the Home Department, accompanied hi of ADMIRALTY COURT, OCT. 5. (Before Dr. DA U BENNY, as Surrogate.) The Court sat for about an hour. Some reports of bills were made by the Registrar, but no business of public mo ment occurred. Proclamation was made of the Sessions for the criminal jurisdiction of this Court (at which the trials of Captain Young, for slave-dealing, and that of Lieutenant Kenny, for the murder of Mr. Charlton, will take place) to be held at the Old Bailey on the 24th inst. This was the last default-day before the ensuing term. PUBLIC SALES, OCT. 5.

Quoth Corn then, in answer to Cotton, Perceiving he meant to make free,— " Low fellow, you've surely forgotten " The distance between you and me ! " To expect that we, peers of high birth, " Should waste our illustrious acres, " For no other purpose on earth " Than to fatten curst calico makers ! " That bishops to bobbins should bend,— " Should, stoop from their Bench's sublimity, " Great dealers in lawn, to befriend " Your contemptible dealers in dimity ! " No—vile manufacture ! ne'er harbour " A hope to be fed at our boards ; " Base offspring of Arkwright, the barber, " What claim can'st thou have upon Lords? " No—thanks to the taxes and debt, " And the triumph of paper o'er guineas, " Our race of Lord Jemmys, as yet, " May defy your whole rabble of Jenuyst!" So saying,—whip, crack, and away Went Corn in his cab through the throng, So madly, I beard them all say, Squire Corn would be down, before long. A defalcation of several thousands is said to have taken place in the cash-account of one of the chief officers of St. Giles and St. George's, Bloomsbury, who has been suspended during the investigation of the affairs now going on. GOOD POETRY.—The following lines are written on a public-house sign in a village in Westi,nore- land : " John Stanley lives here, and sells good ale Walk in to get some before it grows stale. John succeeded his father Peter; But in th old man's time th' ale was never better." SPIRITS.--A very thin lady seriously .asked a wit, whether he believed in spirits.--" Aye,.madam," re plied lie, looking her full in the face, " as sure as you are there." At a village near Cambridge, Mrs. '111. 40 k, who keeps the post 7 office, is likewise a midwife. - A wag passing that way, wrote with a diamond, one the glass of 'her window, " Ladies and Letters safely delivered." On Sunday.. night last, the Protestant School-ho Use of Terryglass, Barony of Lower. Ormond, county of Tipperary, was maliciously burnt to the groUnd.— Freeman s Journal. Upon a late occasion at Berlin, the tickets of ad, mission to the theatre in that City, were at a premiwi of one thousand per c ent., in other words, ten times the price was offered in vain for tickets, to witness the first performance of Mademoiselle Sonntag, in a fa vourite Opera (ItoSsini's ‘, Italian in Algiers"), after her return from. Paris. A whimsical return appears in the Mauritius Ga zette of the 10th of June last. It is printed by order of Government, and in pursuance of a proclamation, made in February, 1825, for the destruction of rats and birds, which form the plague of the island. The rats' tails from eight districts amount to the almost incredible number of 830,473, and the birds' heads 'to 238,549, in one twelveinonth. The document, which is no unimportant one, is signed G. A.• Barry, Chief Secretary of the Government. A female incendiary suffered the extreme penalty of the law in Hanover, on the 12th ult. The execu tioner, at one blow, severed the head from the body with the sword I The unhapy'wotetan,lt was clearly proved, on her trial, had wil idly set fire to ,a dwelling house in the town of Elze, which occasioned a most serious loss of property, including the church, &c. A double suicide took place On . Saturday, in Rue St. Martin. Two yoUng ladies, one - 23, and the other 26 years of age, suffocated themselves with charcoal in a small stove. All recourse to medical aid was useless. Not only, were they suffocated with the vapour of the Charcoal, but horribly burnt in many places. It appears from the letters they had written the night before, that family distress drove them to this desperate act.--- - / )(iris Pa p er. BIGAMY.---A woman named Kelly stated that she came from London on F rida y night with the intentio n to live with her husband (.1 . 61m Kelly), who i s now i n suetrtveircaeLt BosS'a stables, but on her arrival, to her nishaot, she found him m a rri e d t o ano th e r woman. She (witness) said she was married to him at Christ Church in London, and about two years ago they a greed to part ; she went into service, and now lately.being out of place, she thought she might get a situation in Brighton, and live with him. The Magis trate asked how she knew him to b e married ? She replied that she had the information from the person who had acted as bridesmaid at her husband's last wed ding. He (Kelly) was th en di rec ted to find bail in 54/4 for his appearance o n Thursday but being un able he was ordere4 to be confined in the black-hole.. MEETINGS OF CREDITOIt J. Bealey, --- 1 I C i.
